Selv om holistisk pedagogikk som konsept ble navngitt på 80-tallet, så var ikke dette en ny oppfinnelse, men en sammenfatning av teori og praksis som allerede ble drevet ved mange skoler rundt om i verden. Dette innebar også religiøse skoler knyttet til kristendom, hinduisme, buddhisme, m.m. uten at holistisk pedagogikk knyttet seg til noen av disse.
